Nike returns to Pakistan

28th June 20073 Comments

Nike returns to Pakistan According to an article in Ethical Corporation, Nike plans to return to making footballs in Pakistan.

From what I understand of the Pakistan soccer ball industry, it’s a tough place to work. Not just for workers, many of whom, for cultural reasons, must work at home in pretty poor economic conditions.

Nike’s solution?

All Silver Star workers must be registered full time employees and will get social benefits, at least of some sort. All workers will be able to unionise and collectively bargain. Needless to say, working conditions must adhere to the highest international standards agreed for the industry.

    Workers health and safety is very important but some time it is just a propaganda. Conditions are not good in china as well but chinese goods are everywhere.
